Day 1 at Cnet TV

The promo for my new show at Cnet is live! Click here to watch it!
Today was my first official day at Cnet. I have to say, getting here was such a relief! I have known about the possibility of taking this job since early October. That is three months of anticipation and it was killing me! Finally we're off and running! Now if my new MacBook Pro would just get here on the quick! It has been over a year since I worked regularly on a PC and I feel a bit like an ape. My muscle memory doesn't do PC keystrokes well but I'm learning. Kind of like riding a bike. But not.
I'm not in New York yet. I'm squatting in the San Francisco office until we head off to CES in Las Vegas on Saturday. Ugh. Vegas. I lived there for a year and a half. Not super eager to get back, I've gotta say. But I am eager to get to CES. And, truth be told, I will likely end up sneaking off at some point to play $3 Black Jack at the Suncoast. I really hate the strip.
I am going to sneak out early to go for a run in Crissy Field while it is still in my backyard. I hope I don't have to dodge too many submarines. That is what I call the people who only surface to exercise in January when they make New Years Resolutions. Noobs. If that is you, don't be a submarine. Stick with it this year! I believe in you!
Happy 2008 Everyone!

Look at you, you're an internet star now :) Congratulations on everything and I look forward to the show! I love your "submarines" term, I'm stealing it! There were a bunch of them in the gym today, first time I've had to wait for a treadmill in months. Happy New Year!
15 seconds isn't lon enough, Natali. When do we get the real thing? Looking great by the way. :)
Make sure to post the RSS feeds for us geeks to keep up with your CNET videos!
Hi Natali
Best of luck on your new show.
Saludos Arturo
Excellent, well done. Look forward to the new show.

Thanks, I need all the support I can get. lol.
Haha...i'm going to have to remember the Submarine term. I love running as a way to 'get away' and be in my own head while getting some exercise. What sort of distance/time do you run?
CNET is a great company. Welcome! Hope you can visit SF for tech events still :)
Looking forward to the new show, Natali. Good luck at CNet!
